The main street along the river has lots of hotels, restaurants, a market, and a night food market. We walked from the bus station (because we were on a budget) down to the main tourist strip and it only took 15 minutes. Our favourite restaurant there was the Mekong Inn; it&#8217;s cheap ($3 for a curry) and delicious! At the night market we ate rice paper and dried beef for 50 cents each and mini pancakes for 25 cents; it can&#8217;t get much cheaper than that. In the morning we went out on a boat (which we had to ourselves for $6 each, booked through our hotel, Hotel 31B) to the Chai Rang floating market. The market was great fun, although you don&#8217;t really end up buying anything as it&#8217;s all food. The boat ride was over four hours long (starting at 5:30 am), and we visited a rice noodle factory and cruised through the small canals of the delta. Our boat driver was a lovely woman who made us all sorts of jewelry from plants (as she was driving the boat!).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/seasia\/files\/2014\/01\/IMG_4406.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-110\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/seasia\/files\/2014\/01\/IMG_4406-1024x682.jpg\" width=\"540\" height=\"359\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/seasia\/files\/2014\/01\/IMG_4406-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/seasia\/files\/2014\/01\/IMG_4406-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/seasia\/files\/2014\/01\/Top-picks-13.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-25\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/seasia\/files\/2014\/01\/Top-picks-13-300x200.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/seasia\/files\/2014\/01\/Top-picks-13-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/seasia\/files\/2014\/01\/Top-picks-13-1024x682.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the afternoon we went to Muniransuaram Pagoda, which was beautiful, and then played shuttlecock with some local kids, which was great fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We loved Can Tho.
